I just flew northwest with 2 dogs and did not bring health certs, noone even looked at the carrier! noone cared! Northwest does not require them, so I wouldn't worry about it, but thats just me. Id fly them again, although we were not trouble free. There were delays on almost all flights, the dogs were barking in the bag on the floor and they wouldnt let me even put the bag on my lap while we were on the runway for an hour! Otherwise noone even knew the dogs were there! Pretty easy Id say!
I did take their rabies certs though, I put them in the carrier that way I could find them easily, just in case. I was not asked for them but Id do that again if I flew just in case!
